Mm...

[it doesn't really need to be any more than that, really. nam soon knows that this is just how heung soo is, and how he deals with situations like this. everything is still so touch and go—even if they've largely solved the larger conflict at hand, there are still plenty of things to clear up.

those things can wait though, and nam soon doesn't take even the slightest offense to the way heung soo turns his back. if anything, it makes his smile shift to something softer and more endeared, more genuine than put on, more grownup than childlike. it's a lot easier to do that when nobody is looking. instead of turning on his side in either direction, he remains on his back, gaze fixed on the ceiling for a moment before he lets his eyes fall shut. yeah, he can definitely sleep a little easier this way.]

Sleep well, Heung Soo-yah.

[ There's a few moments of nothing, as if Heung Soo wants to make sure the other really did fall asleep before he does anything else. But then after that when he doesn't hear anymore sounds, Heung Soo slowly turns his head back to look at Nam Soon - and that's when he sees him lying there with his eyes closed and that soft smile on his face.

(Not that he was worried he really was too rude in his tsun for a moment - not at all, geez, why would anyone think that.)

But Nam Soon looks just fine, he looks happy.. so then it's all fine. Even if there's still some parts of this left to figure out that are too embarrassing to even talk about, it's fine like this. Even with what happened.. they're still them through it all.

And that's what is important.

He scoots just a little bit closer to the other, still lying on his side, before he closes his eyes to sleep as well. ]
